The Daily WTF Should Be Required Reading

education-memes, computer-science-memes, real-world-coding-memes, daily-wtf-memes, curriculum-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

College CS departments be like: "Here's how to implement a red-black tree from scratch" but won't teach you about the horrors of production code written by caffeinated developers at 2AM. The Daily WTF chronicles real-world coding disasters that no algorithm class prepares you for. Nothing says "welcome to the industry" like inheriting a codebase where someone used Excel as a database and regex to parse HTML. Academia vs reality: the eternal comedy special.

Have Fun In Production!

Remember the first rule of memory safety is to have fun! Ah yes, nothing says "fun" like a malloc() function that completely ignores your size parameter and just returns a random memory address. Because who needs memory management when you can have chaos ? This is basically the programming equivalent of asking for a specific room in a hotel and the receptionist blindfolding themselves, spinning around, and throwing your key card somewhere in the general vicinity of the building. Your program isn't crashing, it's just playing an exciting game of "where the heck is my data?" every time you run it. Memory corruption roulette - the game where everyone loses, especially your users!
